IV-3-1. Motion Detection

IV-3-1-1. Motion Detection

The network camera features a motion detection function and various options
for (motion detection) events notification. When motion is detected, it is

defined as an “event” and the camera will record for a specified length of time.

You can set the camera to send this recording as a notification via email or
FTP, and/or to local storage such as a NAS or microSD card inside the camera.

You can also set the camera to send a push notification for each event to a
smartphone with EdiView II or EdiLife installed. You can view a 10 second

recording of the event, which is automatically stored in the network camera’s
memory, from the app’s “Events” menu.

Recordings stored automatically in the network camera are
limited to 10 seconds and only a limited quantity can be stored.
These recordings are separate from any recordings saved to local
storage or sent via email/FTP, and will be overwritten as new
recordings are created.

55

Motion Detection

Enable or disable the motion detection
function of your network camera.

Interval Time To
Detect

After motion is detected, the network camera
will not detect motion again for this length of

time. For example, using an “Interval Time To
Detect” of 20 seconds means that after

motion is detected, the camera will not
detect any further motion for 20 seconds.
Then after 20 seconds, the camera will detect
motion again.

Upload Event File to
FTP

A video recording of a detected event can be
sent to a designated FTP server. Select
“Enable” or “Disable” for this function. When
enabled, you need to configure the FTP server
information on the “FTP” page of the “Events

When using the network camera’s motion detection function, you can specify
the areas in the video where the network camera should be sensitive to
motion. Motion outside of the detection regions will be ignored by the
network camera. This is useful to avoid false alarms.

58

Sensitivity

Adjust the sensitivity level of motion
detection for each region. A higher value will
trigger the alarm for minor motion in the
video and vice-versa. You can reduce the
sensitivity level if you receive unnecessary
event notifications.

Threshold

Adjust the motion detection threshold level
for each region. A higher value will trigger the
alarm for large objects in the video, a lower
value will trigger the alarm for smaller
objects.

Save

Save your settings.
